What are you looking forward to judging Flip Phone Superstar 2023?
I'm always inspired by Drag. Whether it's people who are new to it or seasoned professionals, I love seeing the creativity that goes into Drag.
What is your advice for those competing in Flip Phone Superstar 2023?
Be yourself! If you're not a dancer, don't try to be the best dancer. If you aren't funny, don't try to be. Do what you do best.
What do you hope the attendees of this event take away from Flip Phone Superstar 2023?
I've noticed that people find Drag to be inspiring. Most anyone can take the confidence and energy and creativity that go into Drag and use that inspiration in their everyday lives.
What is your message for the LGBTQIA+ community?
Tax the billionaires. End world hunger. 4-day work week.
What are your favorite spots in Minnesota or places you're hoping to visit while you're here?
I love the Gay 90s. It's such a unique and iconic landmark. I also love St. Olaf because Rose Nylund is from there.
Thank you Alaska for your time! We look forward to having you in Minneapolis!
